﻿1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The internet was once a healthy, resilient, and self-healing place..

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,050
But then things began to change...

3
00:00:08,050 --> 00:00:12,150
power has moved from the many to the few...

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:15,010
These corporate megasites are fragile,

5
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:19,020
sometimes going out entirely...

6
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:25,030
Censorship has become rampant...

7
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:31,930
And the last year has shown surveillance to be creeping into the systems of the web.

8
00:00:31,930 --> 00:00:37,750
Centralization has infected the net at the cost of our privacy and   safety

9
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:42,020
while eroding user freedom.

10
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:48,030
Is there any hope for the internet we knew and loved?

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,540
But wait... something new has arrived...

12
00:00:54,540 --> 00:01:02,920
Something to put power back in the hands of the people...

13
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,740
MediaGoblin!

14
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:09,000
MediaGoblin is a media publishing system for the web

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,820
it's decentralized and social

16
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:17,410
With MediaGoblin, you don't need to split your media across a billion separate commercial sites.

17
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:20,000
Whether you want to share images,

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
or video,

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
or audio,

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800
or presentations,

21
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,660
or even 3D models...

22
00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:32,650
MediaGoblin can host it all.

23
00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:38,370
MediaGoblin is written in python by a community of over 75 contributors.

24
00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:44,780
MediaGoblin is a GNU project which means we're all about bringing
freedom back to you, the user.

25
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:48,360
MediaGoblin's key feature is Federation

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,070
With federation, we can provide user freedom and IMPROVE

27
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:54,930
the social experience of modern media publishing sites

28
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:57,950
by making the network more resilient.

29
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:59,950
When you favorite a photo,

30
00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:01,950
post a comment to a video,

31
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:03,950
or share your latest drawing,

32
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:07,190
you want people to be able to see those updates.

33
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:11,000
But how do you share with people on a totally different MediaGoblin site?

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,400
With federation, people can be on entirely different MediaGoblin sites

35
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,420
and share as if they were in the same place!

36
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,010
We've been working towards this using a protocol

37
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:24,880
called the Pump API, as implemented by Pump.io.

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,990
As part of this, we've been collaborating on building a library called PyPump,

39
00:02:28,990 --> 00:02:32,910
which will make it easy for python web applications of all kinds to federate.

40
00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:37,490
We've got an accomplished crew of contributors that work hard and
make things happen.

41
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:41,930
We've accomplished a lot, getting out 5 major releases in the last year alone.

42
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:44,300
This includes new features like

43
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,500
A plugin system, 3D model support, document and PDF upload support,

44
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,500
User-curated collections and galleries

45
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,830
Authentication plugins, including Mozilla Persona support

46
00:02:54,830 --> 00:02:56,960
OpenID support, LDAP support,

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,770
Comment preview, Side administration and moderation tooling,

48
00:03:00,770 --> 00:03:03,390
And many more...

49
00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:07,610
We want to make federation happen, wrap up 1.0

50
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:09,980
add privacy features,

51
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:12,210
and bring MediaGoblin to the people

52
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:14,030
We can't do it without you.

53
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:16,030
That's why we're asking for your support

54
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:19,430
to bring the benefits of MediaGoblin to everyone.

55
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:21,960
Become a part of internet history.

56
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,180
Join our goblin force today,

57
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:28,650
and help us bring about a media revolution!
